Considered one of the most important films in the history of silent pictures. The film tells the story of the mutiny on the Russian ship Prince Potemkin during the 1905 uprising. See the full version of the film on the main site via Youtube, here: http://www.andallthat.co.uk/russian-revolution.html

I hope everyone has been watching Michael Wood’s most recent series on the Anglo Saxons, it has been excellent watching. I have to admit to having a bit of a historical crush on Michael but I just think he is one of the best historical broadcasters on TV at the moment – particularly the fact that he goes to great pains to show off the primary documents.

In connection the TV series, I have attached two links to podcasts from Michael, taken from speeches made at the Prince’s Teaching Institute 2013 conferences.

In the first example, Michael explores the importance of the Anglo-Saxon monarchy in shaping many of the ‘first principles’ of a just society.

In the second, Michael entertains his audience with tales of his early career in television, working on wildlife inserts on light entertainment programmes, and his subsequent move into History documentaries.
